John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Degabodafa, osobo bagade da hame hahamoi galu, amo esoha Gode Sia: dafa da esalu. E (Sia: dafa), amola Gode, da gilisili afadafa fawane esalu. Sia: dafa da Gode defele.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Degabodafa Sia: dafa amola Gode, Ela da gilisili esalu.
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
Sia: dafa da liligi huluanedafa hahamoi dagoi. E da hame hamoi ganiaba, liligi huluanedafa da hame ba: la: loba.
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Sia: dafa da esalusu ea bai galu. Amo esalusu da osobo bagade dunu fifi asi gala ilima hadigi olelei.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Amo hadigi da gasi ganodini diga: i diala. Amo hadigi da gasiga dedebomu hamedesa.
6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
Gode da Ea sia: adole iasu dunu ea dio amo Yone, amo asunasi.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
Dunu huluane ilia Gode Ea adosu nababeba: le, dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, Yone da hadigi ilima olelema: ne misi.
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Yone da Hadigidafa hame galu. E da amo Hadigidafa olelela misi.
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
Amo hadigi da Hadigidafa. Hadigidafa da dunu huluane amo da osobo bagadega maha, ilima hadigi iaha.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
Sia: dafa da osobo bagade ganodini esalu. Gode da Sia: dafa amoga osobo bagade hahamoi. Be osobo bagade dunu da Sia: dafa hame dawa: i galu.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
E da Ea fidafa dunu ilima misi, be Ea fidafa da Ea hou lalegagumu higasu.
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
Be mogili ilia da Ea hou hanaiba: le, Ea hou lalegagui. Amalalu, ilia da Gode Ea mano hamoma: ne, E da ilima ilegei dagoi.
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
Osobo bagade hou hamobeba: le hame, ilia bu lalelegele Gode Ea mano hamoi. Osobo bagade dunu ea hamoiba: le, ilia hame lalelegei, be Gode Hi ilegeiba: le ilia da bu lalelegele, Gode Ea mano hamoi dagoi.
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Sia: dafa da osobo bagade dunu ea hu lale, ninia osobo bagade fi amo ganodini esalu. Ea hou da hahawane dogolegele iasu amola dafawanedafa hou ba: su. Ea hadigi, amo Gode Egefedafa Ea hadigi defele, ninia ba: i dagoi.
15 John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
Yone da Ea hou olelei. E da ha: giwane wele sia: i, “E da na misi amoga fa: no misi, be Ea hou da na hou baligisa! Na hame lalelegei esoga, E da esalu! Amo dunu Ea hou olelemusa: na sia: i!”
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu hou da nabai bagadewane dialebeba: le, E ninima hahawane bagade iasu. Musa: ninia hahawane ba: i, be wali bu baligiliwane hahawane ba: sa.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Gode da Mousesema olelebeba: le, Ea Sema ninima iasu. Be Yesu Gelesu da hahawane dogolegele iasu, amola moloidafa hou, ninima olelei dagoi.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
Osobo bagade dunu huluanedafa, da Gode hamedafa ba: su. Be Hina Gode Yesu, Hisu da Godedafa defele. Amola E da Gode dafulili lelebeba: le, Hi fawane da Gode Ea hou olelei dagoi.
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
Yu fi ouligisu dunu Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu, ilia da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu, amo Yone ea hou abodemusa: asunasi. Ilia da Yonema amane adole ba: i, “Di da nowala: ?”
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Yone da bu adole imunu hame hihi galu. E da moloiwane olelei, “Na da Mesaia hame!”
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Ilia bu adole ba: i, “Amaiba: le, di da nowala: ? Di da Elaidiala: ?” Yone bu adole i, “Hame mabu! “Ilia eno adole ba: i, “Di da Balofede dunudafala: ?” “Hame mabu!” e sia: i.
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Ilia amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, di da nowala: , amo ninima adoma. Ninia asunasi dunuma adole iasu gaguli masunu galebe. Dia hou da adi houla: ?”
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Be Yone bu adole ianoba, e da Aisaia ea sia: dedei olelei, “Na da hafoga: i soge, dunu hame esalebe soge amo ganodini ahoana, amane wele sia: nana, `Hina Gode da noga: iwane masa: ne, Ea logo moloiwane fodoma!’”
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
Abodemusa: misi dunu (Fa: lisi fi dunu da ili asunasi),
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
ilia da Yonema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Mesaia o Elaidia o Balofede dunu amo hame esalea, di da abuliba: le dunu hanoga fane salala: ?”
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
Yone da bu adole i, “Na da hanoga ba: bodaise hou hamosa. Be dilia gilisisu amo ganodini dunu dilia hame dawa: dunu da lela.
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
E da na misi amoga fa: no maha. Be na da Ea emo salasu efe fadegamu amo defele hame ba: sa.
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Yone da Bedani soge, (Yodane Hano gusu bega: ) amoga hanoga fane salasu hou hamonanoba, amo hou huluane da ba: su.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Golale hahabe, Yone da Yesu ema manebe ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Dilia ba: ma! Gode Ea Sibi Mano manebe goea. E da osobo bagade wadela: i hou huluane fadegale fasisa.
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
Na musa: sia: i, `E da na misi amoga fa: no misi, be Ea hou da na hou baligisa. Na hame lalelegei esoga, E da esalu.’ Na da amo dunu Ea hou olelemusa: , amane sia: i.
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
Na da amo dunu hame dawa: i galu. Be na da amo misunu dunu Ea hou Isala: ili dunuma olelemusa: , hanoga fane salasu hamomusa: misi.”
32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
Amalalu, Yone da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala, dafe sio agoane muagado misini, Ea da: i hodo amoga aligila sa: i, ba: i dagoi.
33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Na da amo da Gode Ea ilegei dunu hame dawa: i galu. Be musa: Gode da na hanoga fane salasu hawa: hamoma: ne, asula ahoanoba, E da nama amane olelei, `Di da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa dunu afadafa amoga aligila dalebe ba: mu. Amo Dunu da Na A: silibu Hadigidafa amoga ba: bodaise hamosa.’
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Na da amo hou ba: i dagoi. Amola amo dunu da Gode Egefedafa na da dilima sia: sa!”
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
Eso afae aligili, Yone amola ea ado ba: su dunu aduna da gilisili lelu.
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Lelebeba: le, Yesu da baligili ahoanebe ba: i. Yone e amane sia: i, “Gode Ea Sibi Mano ahoanebe goea.”
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Amo sia: nababeba: le, ea ado ba: su dunu aduna da Yesuma fa: no bobogei.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
Yesu da delegili, ela da ema fa: no bobogelalebe ba: loba, elama amane adole ba: i, “Ali da adi hogosala: ?” Ela bu adole ba: i, “La: bai (olelesu)! Dia golasu da habila: ?”
39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
E bu adole i, “Ba: la misa!” (Amoha da eso baloga agoane). Amalalu, ela da Yesu E sigi asili, Ea golasu ba: i. Ilia gilisili amo eso ganodini sia: dalu, gasi gadenenewane yolesi.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
Dunu afadafa ea dio amo A: dalu, e da Saimone Bida eya esalu. E da Yone ea sia: nabalu, Yesuma fa: no bobogei.
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
E da ea ola Saimone hogolala ba: beba: le, ema amane sia: i, “Ani da Mesaia (eno sia: Gelesu) ba: i dagoi.”
42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
Amalalu, e da Saimone Yesuma oule misi. Yesu da Saimone ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Dia dio da Saimone! Di da Yone egefe! Wali Na da dima Sifa: se dio asula.” (Sifa: se dio da Bida dio defele. Amo dawa: loma: ne sia: da `igi’.)
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Golale hahabe, Yesu da Ga: lili sogega masunu dawa: i galu. E da Filibe ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Na baligiga aligila misa.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
(Filibe ea moilai dio amo Bedesa: ida. Amo moilaiga A: dalu amola Bida esalebe ba: i.)
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Filibe da hogolala, Nada: na: iele ba: i. E da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia da Dunu amo Ea hou Mousese da Sema buga ganodini dedei, amola balofede dunu, Ea hou dedei, amo dunu ninia ba: i dagoi. E da Yesu, Yousefe egefe. Ea moilai da Na: salede.”
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
Nada: na: iele da amane sia: i, “Liligi ida: iwane gala da Na: salede moilaiga mahabela: ? Hame mabu!” Be Filibe da bu adole i, “Ba: la misa!”
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
Yesu da Nada: na: iele Ema manebe ba: beba: le, ea hou olelemusa: amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunudafa da manebe goea. Amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:”
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Nada: na: iele da Ema amane adole ba: i, “Na hou Dia habodane dawa: bela: ?” Yesu E bu adole i, “Filibe da dima hame misa: ne weloba, Na da di figi ifa ea ougiha esalebe ba: i.”
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Nada: na: iele fofogadigili sia: i, “Olelesu! Di da Gode Egefedafa. Di da Isala: ili fi ilima Hina Bagadedafa esala.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
Yesu E amane sia: i, “Di da figi ifa ea ougiha esalebe Na ba: i, amo fawane Na sia: beba: le di da Na hou dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ? Amo hou bagadewane baligisu hou di da ba: mu.”
51 Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dafawane dilima sia: sa! Dilia da Hebene logo doasibi ba: mu, amola Gode Ea a: igele dunu Gode Egefe amo da: iya, ilia gudu dalebe gado heda: lebe ba: mu.”
